    Obviously you don't know that those maps are located on the halo 2 disc and not on your harddrive. there's no way to rewrite anything on the disc, which in turn means, you can't apply .ppf patches onto those maps.

    ok heres wat you do

    If you want ot mod any of the levels on the Halo 2 disc
    you will need to put the entire game on your hard drive.

    1. Boot your xbox up with Halo 2 in the disc tray. As
    soon as it truns on open th disc tray. When Microsoft
    comes up after the big Xbox preview close the disc tray.
    This allows you to look and explore the contents of the
    Halo 2 disc.

    2. Connect with CoreFTP to your xbox. Go to the new D
    drive. This is your Halo 2 disc. Transfer the D drive
    to your computer. It is like three GigaBytes. Do Not try
    to edit anything on the disc. Do not tranfer anything to
    the disc and make sure not to delete anything on the disc.

    3. Open D once it is all on your computer. Go to the
    maps section and delete all the campaign maps. These are
    not needed and will free up like 2 gigs. Just make sure
    you don't delete any of the mulitplayer maps.

    Also delete single_player_shared.map
    Do not delete mainmenu.map or shared.map

    4. Now rename D to Halo 2. Make a new folder on the E
    drive of your xbox. Name it "Games" Transfer Halo 2
    to this folder.

    5. Restart your xbox. Go to Games on your dashboard and
    find Halo 2. Click it.

    If there is no Halo 2 in the games section- go to E then
    games then Halo 2. Click on default.xbe. This will start
    Halo 2

    6. Congrats!! You can now mod any level that is normally
    on the disc.

    When sending a modded map from your computer to your xbox
    put it in the maps folder in Halo 2. (E/games/halo 2/maps)
    Just overwrite the map that that you are replacing.

    -I do not take any credit in making this tutorial-
